PCA is top up but a lot of other groups let you drive top down, I did it once and didn't really like it, of course it was hot as $%&* that day.

For sure faster (less drag) but possibly flying also! Maybe flying is a bit apocalyptic-ally said but I'm convinced your rear-end will be dancing a little more than let's say "with the roof closed". But then who doesn't like a little bit of dancing right

You can check out the DE standards on the PCA website, that being said those are minimum and each region can be more strict. Send a email the national de chair, he's a great guy and always open to chatting about de.


* had faster autocross times with the top down*
